Champions League
Principle derby in the semi-finals. Inter sign Milan
Milan faced Inter in the first semi-final match of the Champions League.
Shortly after the start of the match, Rossoneri started having problems. First, a corner in Milan’s castle caused trouble. Finding the middle of Çalhanoğlu, Dzeko won the position struggle with his opponent and sent the ball to the nets. But the problems of the “red-blacks” continued in a short time. From the left wing, Dimarco plunged into the penalty area and sent his middle to the middle of Mkhitaryan, who took the goalkeeper’s accurate shot.
This turn of events put the Milan players in a state of shock and again they almost missed their own net. First, Çalhanoğlu from the midfield hit the post, then after Mkhitaryan’s shot, Menyan played reliably.
In the middle of the half, however, Rossoneri began to recover, trying to set up a combination game on offense. Calabria took the first shot at the opponent’s goal, which sent him into the close corner after Messias’ cross with his heel and missed the goal. Inter responded with another dangerous moment, which ended with Martinez falling inside AC Milan’s penalty area. The referee pointed to the 11 meter limit, but after watching the replay of the video, he reversed his decision. Already in the next episode, Martinez again became the center of attention and went over the penalty area door.
Rossoneri started the second half aggressively. Diaz and Messias had good shooting positions, but the Milan players missed the mark. The Black-Blues were not going to hold back on defense and periodically found new loopholes in their opponents’ defence. Dzeko, who was left alone with Menyan and did not break the goalkeeper, missed a great opportunity to increase the advantage of his team. In the middle of the second half, Tonali was unlucky: after Giroud’s reduction, he shot from the middle of the penalty area but hit the post.
The last part of the game passed without particularly dangerous situations at the gate. Rossoneri tried to break the score, but Nerazzurri confidently defended the result. Ending the match with a win, Inter approached the Champions League final.

Former coach of Dynamo Kiev Alexander Showkovsky He should have been sacked in August after a poor performance in the Champions League qualifiers.
The blue-whites, who lost twice to Cypriot Paphos in the 3rd round of the European Cup (0:1 and 0:2), were relegated to the Europa League and then promoted to the Conference League.
“I know that Dinamo management believes that a change of coach could and should be made in the summer, after they lost to Paphos in the Champions League qualifiers.
Then an opportunity arose. But the necessary candidate was not available,” the source said.
Due to the lack of alternatives, the president of the Kiev club decided to leave Shovkovsky as head coach, but in November the Ukrainian specialist was nevertheless fired and left Dynamo.

We continue to examine the future of Donetsk shakhtar To buy tickets directly to the main stage Champions League 2026/27.
This will be possible if the place reserved for the team that wins the Champions League trophy is redistributed.
All important moments of the match are available in LIVE mode Telegram Sport.ua
Donetsk Miner They are in fourth place with a coefficient of 50.250 among the clubs competing for a possible position at the heart of the Champions League.
In the last European week, the Donetsk club added +2.625 points. This increase was achieved with a 0-0 draw with Croatian Rijeka in the 6th round of the Conference League and a sixth place in the main round final table.
Main rival Greek Olympiacos – 56,500 points remaining. The Miners can regain the 6,250-point lead if they perform well in the spring part of the European Cups.
It is interesting that Shakhtar lost the first place in the UPL (Cherkasy has the same number of points as LNZ – 35 points each), and Olympiacos lost the lead in Greece to the AEK team (36 points against 37). Ukrainian striker Roman Yaremchuk plays for the team of the city of Piraeus.
Positions rangers (59,250), 4th in Scotland and Copenhagen (53.375), placed 5th in Denmark, looks less competitive in the rankings due to its position in the national championships. Leader only in championships Dinamo Zagreb And RB Salzburg (44,000 each) but there is no certainty that the turn will come.
Let us remind you that if the cup holder buys a ticket to the Champions League through the national championship, there will be a vacancy in the main squad in the 2026/27 Champions League. In this case, a balance will arise again and if Shakhtar wins the UPL and is ahead of Olympiacos in the UEFA club rankings (or the Greek club does not become the champion of Greece), it can get a direct ticket to the base of the Champions League.
If the Piraeus team is higher in the rankings and takes advantage of the available space, the Donetsk club will start from the 4th quarter of the Champions League, not the 2nd quarter, in case they win in the UPL.
